This quartet of flute, bassoon, violin and viola is representative of the "broken consorts", made up of more than one family of instruments, which were once common place. 16th-century French vocal four-part songs inspired Italian composers to write instrumental four-part canzonas, which blossomed in print and performance between 1580 and 1628. Among the composers to be represented are Floriano Canale, Andrea Cima, Giovanni Bassano, Giacomo Filippo Biumi, and Fiorentio Maschera, along with instrumental settings of some of the French chanson that inspired these canzonas. We hope you'll join us!

I couldn't be quite sure I hadn't dreamed it all."/ — Elizabeth Courtney, *Music in Victoria* • islandnet.com/miv /"A lively and challenging programme ...elegant, thoughtful conversation between the instruments ... intellectually gripping and as full of nerve-tingling modulations. ... A widely expressive technique full of nuance and subtlety ... a stylish and very engaging ensemble. Their playing is impeccable in its ornamentation and articulation and sensitive to the emotional core of the music ... but beyond that they play with great verve and obvious delight in the music."/ — Elizabeth Paterson, *Review Vancouver* • reviewvancouver.org /"A remarkably intimate and refreshing experience. There was joy and love aplenty here, quite irresistible in its sense of innocence and spontaneity. Jeffrey Cohan has such quickness and dynamic range, such a keen control of accents, and such mastery at floating the soft limpid phrase that the combination with Stephen Stubbs’ own brand of structural solidity and insight gave us something pretty special indeed."/ — Geoffrey Newman, *Vancouver Classical Music* • www.vanclassicalmusic.com
